I finished the garage today. I had a list of last minute things to remember, like a phone insulator on the wall, and the underground holding tanks for fuel at the front. I have a worrying suspicion those should have breather pipes, but hey, it's the fifties. Health and safety was a while off. My last job on the model was distressing the road surface and patching with "tar" in the form of pre-coloured bits of thin paper. Playing back my memories of the garage near where I lived as a boy, I noted a badly cracked concrete forecourt; with tarmac leading up to the (then) newly installed electric pumps, so that had to go in.
The backscene is one that my father-in-law made as a background for photography.
If I can find one in my figures box, I will install a fox in the shrubbery at the rear of the workshop. An old Speckled Hen wouldn't be out of place in the workshop, either.
Finally, have a very Merry Christmas everyone, and thank you for reading my blog. I hope you all have a great year's modelmaking ahead.
